A phone call, a couple in the store with a question, stopping by a house or 2 to give a estimate; can this be signs of spring?
It’s been a long and cold winter. Again, like the winter before, when the phone rung, it was with a fellow contractor looking for work. It is refreshing to have a possible paying person on the other end for a change! How’s other are doing? I see the worry look on the faces on other guys admitting that it’s been slow. How’s it going for you? Drop a commit, you need not be a contractor. May the venting begin…

Is it spring yet?
Tuesday, March 16th, 2010It’s raining again!
Saturday, March 13th, 2010It’s raining again, and the ground just isn’t soaking it up. Puddles started forming on the grass early, and the forecast is for the rain to keep getting heaver. This morning, I heard the pump I installed in the window well cycle. This a good thing ’cause it keeps my basement dry. Nevertheless, with all the snow and rain my below grade rat slab under the family room had become a pool. During the last batch of heavy rain, I bought another pump and hose to keep the water out of the boiler room. I may have to install the same pump setup as in the window well. I’ll share the set up with any one interested.

I’ve been bad! Not posting for almost a YEAR!
I’m so far behind, I’m just now committing to a New Year’s Resolution!
Here goes it: Be a better bloger, and get more work.
But enough of this.
Does anyone out there know anything about the new EPA Lead Laws?
Does anyone Care?
If Not and Don’t, then Think again!
We’re talking Big $ finds and time in the slammer!!
I’m certified as of Monday, and it looks like we’re in for a real pain in the butt with this.
As I see it, this is just the tip of a big iceberg.
And No It’s Not Just You Have to Hand Out Pamphlets!
Send me comments on what you think. I have a link to the EPA web site for your viewing pleasure.

New Fax/Office Phone Number (631)320-9409
I ran down to Radio Shack and Picked up one of them Magic Jack module. It took a little work with some internet tec. to set up, but I seem to be up and running. The sound is good, I can fax out well, But my fax machine isn’t working well. I had problems before, I think it maybe a problem with low black ink. I’ve been using this “Low Ink” cartridge for months now and it’s still printing (go figure). So far, the biggest draw back is; I must enter the area code to make a out going call, But hay, for 20 bucks a year I think I can learn to live with it!
